I am Cape Verde
Africa’s beauty,
I stand here in majestic bliss
My arms wide open
Whoever comes to me, my lands embrace.
From my lands
Sisters abide,
My shores make them see
My lands make them stay
Oh, what a sight I have.
Sister Portugal
My heart is your throne,
You made my shores bliss
Yeah, I still thank you
But now I have my crown.
Praia
My most loved,
Your streets are laced with wonders
Now you shine for all to see
Amongst daughters, you are crowned.
As I represent my mother
I sway with grace,
The ocean crowned me
The lands beckon me
Now to glory I must answer.
Sisters of the Americas
My feet now grace your shores,
As I make my stand
This I’ll say
I am my mother’s eye.
I am Cape Verde
The island of beauty,
Here in my heart
I stand with pride
One I still walk in.
